David de Gea
On his 500th appearance, he demonstrated why he could struggle to make it to 600 with some shoddy distribution. Irked the crowd. 5
Diogo Dalot
Off the pace and, as the only outfield player to have started every game, possibly overplayed. Mildly improved in the second-half. 6
Raphael Varane
One of the handful of players who looked affronted by Newcastle riding roughshod over United. Led the backline well again. 7

Lisandro Martinez
Competed consistently and urgent in the first-half, unlike most teammates but his probing passing was neutered. 6
Luke Shaw
Did not lack for effort but caught on his heels too often and he is yet to have an influence in the final third. 5
Casemiro
Did not shirk challenges but was off the pace in the first-half and later booked for an overzealous challenge. Should have had an assist with cross for Marcus Rashford. 6
Fred
If United had an experienced midfielder on the bench then Fred might have come off at half-time. The second-half was not as bad as the first. 4
Antony
One-dimensional at times but provided some impetus during United's flat periods of possession. Did not have pace to burn against Dan Burn. 5
Bruno Fernandes
Neither wedded to the midfielders nor the attackers, he did not create something out of nothing to justify his place. Booked and lacked composure. 4
Jadon Sancho
Started energetically but was not incisive and had little joy against Kieran Trippier. Fell theatrically when a more natural tumble could have earned a penalty. 5
Cristiano Ronaldo
Dropped too deep too often - possibly to ensure he was not flagged offside. Had two goals disallowed - one possibly dubiously. 4
Subs
Marcus Rashford
The obvious substitution to make but could not breach Newcastle. 5
Manager
Had little choice but to start Fred without Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay. Had limited game-changers to turn to but did not opt for a wild card and the players regressed. 5
